Summary

Parker, Lynette (2001). Reforms Create Open Door for Restorative Justice in Chile. Restorative Justice Online February 2002 Edition.

Chile is enacting significant justice system reforms that seem to be opening doors for more restorative elements .

These include more emphasis on victimxe2x80x99s issues, the creation of community mechanisms for dealing with conflict, and the introduction of mediation projects into schools.
